All,
I have a dual-boot laptop I brought on trip from Eastern Standard Time to Pacific Standard Time.
After getting to Pacific area I went into Yast and changed my timezone appropriately and double checked it was setup to use ntp.
All was good, until yesterday I dual booted into Windows. I didn't pay attention to the time it had, but now I'm back in openSUSE, my clock is off by 4 hours which puts me half way to Japan!
What is the correct way to have my time set so that both linux and windows get it right and I can bounce between timezones as I travel.
Thanks Greg
Use NTP and set it to point to a public timeserver (e.g. pool.ntp.org). Unfortunately Windows keeps it TZ variable in the registry so automatically updating Windows' TZ variable via a bash script while running Linux is non- trivial. You could always do what I do - boot your Windows partition in VirtualBox from Linux - that way the time is pretty much always in sync. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
